Iron (3) Oxide + Aluminum = Iron + Aluminum Oxide answer

Question

Pb(_s)+2 HCl(aq)→PbCl2(_s)+H₂(_g)

 

Answer 1

Translating the first equation to formulas, and balancing: 

 

Fe₂O₃ (s) + 2 Al (s) → 2 Fe (s) + Al₂O₃ (s)

 

(This is the thermite reaction.  Because the reaction is quite exothermic, the metallic iron is molten at first; it cools and freezes eventually.)

 

 

 

 

Translating the second equation into words, 

 

Solid lead metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form solid lead(II) chloride and hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

This is the first problem balanced and written with formulas.

 

Fe₂O_{3(s) +}  2Al_(s)  -----> 2Fe(s) +  Al₂O_3(s)

 

If you needed the other equation translated back to words, it is below as well!

 

Lead metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid are reacted to form lead(II) chloride and hydrogen gas.
